235 Raleigh Road was built for Viola Jordan in the Colonial Revival style by Raymond Gregari. Beginning in the 1920s, Colonial Revival architecture gained considerable popularity. Many of Kenilworth’s Colonial Revivals from this period, such as this home, have a brick exterior, as opposed to clapboard siding. According to a 2008 survey, Colonial Revival is the most prevalent architectural style in Kenilworth. 235 Raleigh Road sits on the former site of the Kenilworth Golf Club, a nine-hole golf course located between Kenilworth Avenue, Oxford Road, Leicester Road, and Lake Michigan.
